Atlantic County Emergency Alert System

The Atlantic County, Office of Emergency Preparedness has
developed an Alert System to keep our residents and visitors informed of
emergent information regarding weather events, large scale emergencies,
homeland security information and special emergency preparedness information.
This system was developed to keep you, the members of our community, better
informed and prepared should an emergency or disaster occur.

The Alert System Message Symbols will be posted throughout Atlantic
County Government's web site. The Symbols will only appear when an active
alert is posted. Please check back frequently as alerts change as new
information is developed. Bookmark our home page to quickly find any
alerts that are currently posted.

Alert System Message Symbols

Weather alerts are posted when a weather system has the potential
to effect the population of the County. Weather Alerts are classified
as Low, Elevated or Severe based on information from the National
Weather Service and the amount of impact expected from the system.

An Emergency Alert is posted when a non-weather event or disaster
is effecting the county. Specific preparedness information will
be provided with any emergency instructions for the public should
they be necessary.

Events sometimes effect the operation of Atlantic County Government.
If an event changes the usual day to day operations, specific
closings, delayed openings or curtailed services will be posted
through this alert.
